Dirty Water Anglers, REPORTS and pics

[gjb1969]

tonight was a fish and move night hit a few dw spots and the odd thing was most of the places were dead all but the last one small blues and spots would have stayed over night but the dam rain well theres allways sunday

[ledhead36]

The rain was terrible last night. I sat through it for one short runt. sometimes in the rain the fishing turns on. Not last night. I felt like a drowned rat out there.

[gjb1969]

i was all over there last night on slick rocks mud and sand just small fish wet and tired just cant seem to get some big fish at all its sad buzzards luck in full !!

[DarkSkies]

I really feel that area is within 3 weeks of blowing up as the water cools.

The big blues should be there soon, following the bunker...with some bass right behind them....
That area is loaded with sea bass, spot, and pinfish as well, more so than it has been in the last few years....
Hope you're there when the fish come down the pike....

You deserve something other than buzzard's luck....I believe it's gonna turn around real soon.....:thumbsup: :HappyWave:




I made that prediction on 9-5-12 based on past logs and reports here....

Things for a lot of areas are a little late this year.
This distresses me because there are always little bass in the NY Bight.

According to what G and other sources are reporting even though there are tremendous amounts of bass forage, the bass had not shown up yet in any decent sizes or numbers. This includes the little bass that they can catch throughout the year when the season is open (throwbacks)



Remember this, folks, when you are shouting about how much of a comeback the striped bass have made.....:learn:

The report:

Saturday (http://njpcfishingreport.blogspot.com/2012/09/saturday_29.html)



Today the Sunday crew was out and they made all the difference. The morning tide only produced one short striper. If I did not have the regulars onboard,I would have left the area as we went through the slack water without a bite while waiting for the tide to change. When the current started to run around 11:30 the bite turned on. First it was 12 to 14 lb. bluefish and then some bass. Roger had his limit and started off the fall bass run in style, landing a 31lb. striped bass that ran both of us around the boat.

[gjb1969]

no boat fish for me

[cowherder]

31 lbs nice fish!:clapping: :clapping:

[gjb1969]

ok this year is just not right moer pin fish spot and a few puffers but its bin light on big bass and big blues i was at my buddys shop and some guys came in they were playing with short tog and seabass from shore no less was going to do a all nighter but i got tired and the little fish just would not stay off my hook small bass after small bass no small blues for me all day the runt bass kept me going all fish came on cut spot and bunker one of the guys got the only good fish today a 32 in 11lb blue he was so happy as the tide droped out and the wind calmed down the bunker started to run in to the lines but i left them for another day

[DarkSkies]

Nice bluefish...I think the action will pick up in the other river system first, though....soon.....:d

[jigfreak]

Nice blue.

[gjb1969]

any one know what this little guy is one of the dirty water guys got him fihing for spots today

[rip316]

Drum?

[gjb1969]

yup its called a silver perch in the drum family never seen one up here

[gjb1969]

its starting to look like the bigger bass are looking to eat i got this from my buddy nice fish

[gjb1969]

did a long dw outing last nite 5pm to 1am we had a few run offs but it was lots of small fish but at least it was bass so no big one that night but they are there so its just a mater of time but the spot we fished we lost a few rigs and that sucks all fish were on fresh bunker all the little guys still swiming so we can get them when they grow up will try to get some small spots and live line one to see if any bass are there

[zev]

looks like the bite is on in my local river. three keepers all 30" in the second to last hr of outgoing on a Yozuri black over silver crystal minnow. as soon as i showed up I saw some activity and knew I would get into fish but this was my first hat trick. lost a fourth keeper when he got unbuttoned. fish were hitting in fifteen min intervals in right off the back side of the "pillars". caught a small guy and then called it a night. should probably try the incoming later. we had a really good, what I would call healthy incoming tide today with the wind blowing north and every year when that happens it seems to bring a wave of fish thru.

[gjb1969]

way to go on the bass i am glad the bite is on in the river now if i can hook with some bass i will be happy

[storminsteve]

Nice going zev! Sounds like awesome action! I fished nomoco last night from 8-10 got one 26" bass on a tsunami shad.No other hits or bumps.

[gjb1969]

Remember when Amboy Angler put in 2 whole days out there to get that 27lb bass and win the contest?
Man those were the days,,,,,,,:fishing: :HappyWave:

[gjb1969]

true it was fun runing all over the place to get bass and we sure did and on a side note amboy is doing better down in the sunshine state:clapping:

[DarkSkies]

^^Glad to hear that about Amboy, G.....he was like a blazing comet out of control sometimes.....
He had so much enthusiasm and didn't let the haters get him down.......:kicknuts:

He had a lot of energy and much potential.....I think the move was good for him. and he knows he's always welcome in Jersey.......

This is him and you on one of the rare days ya's came out and fished the ocean with me......




BTW he filmed this clip...that's his voice as the narrator.......
Miss ya, Amboy........:( :HappyWave:

[cowherder]

Now thats a cow! Nice fish gjb!

[gjb1969]

not my fish only thing i got was a cold no keeper or cow bass

[cowherder]

Oh ok it is still a nice fish anyway. You will get one eventually. I hope you get better.

[gjb1969]

well i have bin out around the dw and all the big fish seem to have moved after the storm its like spring with all the little bass i got a whole bunch from fri to sun but not fish with size fresh bait and frozen bait u could not keep the little guys away if u let the bait sit to long the crabs or ling would get the bait with the way things are looking i think its time to put my rods up till spring i just think its not worth it to keep going out spending money and wasteing time so i am done till 2013 good luck guys and gals

[ledhead36]

Have to be in it to win it. At least you tried. I think the water is getting too cold now and a lot of bait gone from the bay where we fish too.

[gjb1969]

well i have seen bunker for the last two days but no fish on them and i cant be out all the time so i am done for now

[DarkSkies]

A member sent me a pic of a boat for scouting and fishing the dirty water once the spring season starts....

**The only thing I would add to this is a word of caution.....
A flat bottomed boat this small size could be in trouble if the bay winds and waters kick up suddenly.....Spring waters around the 40-45 degree mark can incapacitate you if you fall in...within 10 minutes you can be paralyzed from the cold, and soon after death could follow if you can't get back to land

I dumped a boat similar in size many years ago. It wasn't a good day for me...and I learned some valuable lessons that day....
Be careful out there guys. Thanks for the pic.....:HappyWave:

Was wondering if anyone ever catches keeper fluke in the dirty water areas or the Hudson river? I have seen guys pull in small ones but never a keeper.

[williehookem]

It depends on how far back you go into those waters. If you are talking about the Hudson they do catch keeper fluke at the mouth. The further up you go the less the salinity is and I think the bigger ones are less likely to go up there. Bass and blues its a different story you can get them as far as the George washington and the bass go all the way up to spawn in the spring.

[williehookem]

Some nicer fish starting to move up the hudson. Report from today, not mine.

36" sushi from the waters around the Big Apple with a little help from my friends Alan & Wayne, we enjoyed a gift of the sea. I also tip my hat to another Manhattan legionary fisherman Steve Sloan who help create a program in Central Park to introduce fishing to kids and owned over 40 world fishing records. May we all be blessed this holiday with "Peace to your families as well as this country"

[basshunter]

Nice shot willie, that looks like from up at piermont or croton. Nice bass
Some of the raritan dirty water

Just a heads up that its on in the Hudson. As of last week my cousin and his friends were getting 20 pounders on bunker. About 2-5 a day where they were fishing. Anywhere from Englewood down to Brooklyn. Hope that is vague enough. If not please edit. Catch em up dudes!

[basshunter]

Awesome news thanks for the report

[7deadlyplugs]

Starting to see some nice stripers posted on some of the lower hudson tackle shop reports gents.

[plugginpete]

Saw this on the net the other day and thought would make a great screen saver.

[ledhead36]

Im catching at least 1 striped bass every morning. 10-23 lbs it varies with the bait. All on bunker heads. Also seeing herring and very small bait too. Small window of opportunity, when the sun comes up it's over.

[seamonkey]

Congrats. Who cares about dirty water -If I could get fishing that consistent I would fish a sewer LOL.

[ledhead36]

good point, I feel the same way. Still getting them in the Hudson. When there are bunker around the fish are there. No bunker no fish.

[7deadlyplugs]

Heads up guys I was up in the Hudson above the TZB for a few hours yesterday. The water is dirty but they are catching on bloods. Mostly small ones. Did see a 29 incher get landed.
